How you clean your lungs when you quit smoking

Research has shown that adults who have eaten two tomatoes and more than three apples a day have slowed the negative effects on the lungs in relation to those who have eaten fewer such items. Scientists say the effects mentioned apply only if apples and tomatoes are eaten fresh. For the needs of this study, researchers have accessed the data on food and lung function of more than 650 adults in 2006, while the same tests in the same group of volunteers have been repeated after ten years.

Participants from Germany, Norway, and Great Britain have filled in their questionnaires on food and has also been published spirometry with which lung capacity is measured. Of course, factors such as old age, length, gender, body mass index, socioeconomic status, physical activity have been taken into account.

And the results have found that there is a connection between food and lung work, which is quite obvious to former pioneers. It has been found that in former smokers whose food was rich in tomatoes and vegetables, especially apples, there has been a slowdown in lung function in those ten years. This means that food rich in these articles can help improve the damage done to lung cigarettes.
